Onasandros über die Eigenschaften eines guten Generals (361 Aufrufe)

Onasandros (Onosandros, 1. Jhdt. u.Z.): Der General (ΣΤΡΑΤΗΓΙΚΟΣ) II:
So that general is to be praised who is good, wealthy, and well-born, but the excellent general who is not wealthy is not to be rejected, even if of humble family. The general when chosen must be trustworthy, affable, prompt, calm, not so lenient as to be despised, not so severe as to be hated, so that he may neither through favours loosen the bonds of discipline, nor estrange the army through fear [ἵνα μήτε ταῖς χάρισιν ἐκλύσῃ τὸ στρατόπεδον μήτε τοῖς φόβοις ἀλλοτριώσῃ].

He must appoint as lieutenants [λοχαγούς], captains [ταξιάρχους], and colonels [χιλιάρχους], as well as other officers, if it seems necessary, men who are most loyal to their country, most faithful, and most vigorous – though there is nothing to prevent their being of the greatest wealth and nobility.

As the number of generals to be chosen is small, they may be easily judged from their characters, even if the dignity of wealth and birth is lacking; but this is not the case with the multitude of subordinate officers. And so by off-hand judgement required at a crucial moment the nobility have to be preferred, but when there is no urgency, the wealthy, since those who have abundant means can spend money on the soldiery and make them gifts; for a slight expenditure by the officers for the benefit of their men makes the rank and file better disposed; and the pledges of greater rewards can be depended upon when made by those who have more at stake – that is, if the confidence a general ought to inspire is not altogether furnished by his character.
